Dusty Dan Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 You do beautiful work. I have built a lot of ships and planes, but never a tractor. All mine are diecast and I don’t ever recall seeing one in a hobby shop in this area, anyway. Perhaps I haven’t looked at the right places. I suppose they are on-line if I look. But so many people on this forum have truly impressed me with their modeling skills. Beautiful tractors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, rubber tyres are next on my list, must be easier than painting tyres on rims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers James, little by little I'm finally getting the hang of it, I've had plenty of mistakes, but hopefully I've learned from them. Yes, I'm working on casting tractor parts now to build my collection, much quicker than scratch building every one! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dominik, I haven't had a lot of time for models lately, and what spare time I have had has been mainly spent on a couple of projects that needed finishing. However, hopefully an update on the Zetor may be soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
